Upcoming Imagine Dragons dates
Dates and live ticket listings appear here as soon as they are on sale. The guide below covers what to know before you buy.
Imagine Dragons seats: match the section to the room
In an arena, take a lower-bowl seat facing the stage; in a stadium, take a lower sideline seat toward the stage end; at an amphitheater, take a reserved pavilion seat. Imagine Dragons plays all three kinds of venue on an end stage (the stage at one end, the crowd facing it), and the right seat shifts with the size of the building.
One thing holds everywhere: this is a band built on huge, shout-along choruses and pounding drums. The sound fills big rooms, so the cheaper seats give up less here than they would at a quieter show.
- Most physical: the floor, close to the stage.
- Best view: raised seats facing the stage.
- Best value: upper-level center in an arena.
Arena sections for a drum-heavy show
- Floor: you feel the kick drums in your chest here. When it is sold as general admission (standing room, first come, first served), the people who line up earliest end up nearest the stage.
- Lower bowl facing the stage: the safest strong pick. The production reads as one picture from straight ahead, and sections around the soundboard (the mixing desk out in the room) hear the most balanced mix.
- Lower-bowl sides near the stage: near and raised, yet looking in from the side costs you a slice of the stage and the video walls.
- Upper level: money well spent for this act. Big refrains and a roaring room travel all the way up. Sit center rather than in a corner.
Stadium and amphitheater picks
Stadiums
- Field: buy only the front sections. The rear of a stadium field is level and distant, and it turns into a screen-watching zone.
- Lower-level sidelines close to the stage end: enough height to see over the field and close enough to see faces.
- Upper deck and the far end zone: the lowest-cost way in; expect a long climb and a slight lag between what you see and what you hear.
Amphitheaters
The covered reserved section gives the clearest look at the band. Out on the lawn (open grass at the back, sold as general admission) the view shrinks, but the mood is relaxed and a crowd-wide singalong sounds great out there.
The Loom World Tour used all three venue types depending on the market, so check the map on your listing before you buy.
Drums, Reynolds and a lineup change
Percussion defines the live sound, often several drums at once, with singer Dan Reynolds regularly pounding a big drum himself. The big singles ("Demons," "Thunder," "Believer," "Radioactive") land throughout the set rather than all at the end, and Reynolds roams from one side of the stage to the other.
In August 2024, Daniel Platzman said he was stepping away from the drum seat. Founding drummer Andrew Tolman came back for the road, and the percussion-heavy feel did not change.
Off stage, the band set up the Tyler Robinson Foundation in 2013 for young people with cancer, and in 2017 it co-founded the LoveLoud Festival, which focuses on LGBTQ youth.
Las Vegas to 87 weeks on the Hot 100
The group started in Las Vegas in 2008. Alongside Reynolds, the core members are Wayne Sermon on guitar and Ben McKee on bass.
- Six studio albums: the 2012 debut Night Visions, then Smoke + Mirrors, Evolve, Origins, the double album Mercury – Acts 1 & 2 and, in 2024, Loom.
- "Radioactive": the band's Grammy winner (Best Rock Performance) once held the record for the longest Hot 100 run, at 87 weeks.
- A decade on top of rock: on Billboard's 2010s rock rankings, the top three songs were all theirs.
Album sales top 74 million worldwide, according to the band.
Five world tours, 2013 to 2026
- 2013 and 2014, Night Visions Tour: the first-album run, as "Radioactive" took off.
- 2015 and 2016, Smoke + Mirrors Tour: the jump to headlining arenas.
- 2017 to 2019, Evolve World Tour: the "Believer" and "Thunder" years.
- 2022 and 2023, Mercury World Tour: supporting the double album.
- 2024 to 2026, Loom World Tour: it opened in Camden, New Jersey, in late July 2024 and was set to end in Toronto in May 2026 after 94 dates on four continents. By July 2025, Billboard's count stood at 2.2 million tickets. A Hollywood Bowl night with the LA Film Orchestra that October was filmed and reached theaters in March 2025 as Live From The Hollywood Bowl. Support acts rotated and included Declan McKenna, Myles Smith, Cannons and Jacob Banks.

Hometown nights, summer dates and stadium supply
Fans who remember the band from early-2010s radio share the room with younger listeners who know it from streaming, and that broad base keeps sales steady from city to city.
- Presales claim the front. Fan-club, artist and credit-card windows come before the general sale and absorb many of the closest seats.
- Las Vegas is the hometown draw. A show in the band's home city gets an extra bump.
- Stadiums mean more supply. With so many seats, upstairs stadium tickets are frequently still available late.
- Weekends and summer go first. Saturday nights and peak-summer amphitheater dates tend to sell before a weeknight.
Secondary-market prices move above and below face value and often shift in the final days. Every Reserved Seat order includes guaranteed entry. Band news is posted at imaginedragonsmusic.com.
Frequently asked questions
Are upper-level seats good for Imagine Dragons?
More than at most concerts. The songs are written to fill large buildings, and a center seat upstairs still catches the full force of the singalong.
Where should I sit at an Imagine Dragons stadium show?
Pick the lower level along the sidelines, close to the stage end. On the field, only the front sections are worth the cost.
Who plays drums for Imagine Dragons now?
Founding drummer Andrew Tolman has handled touring since Daniel Platzman's August 2024 exit.
How long was the Loom World Tour?
Close to two years: 94 shows from a July 2024 start in New Jersey to a planned May 2026 finish in Toronto.
What Grammy has Imagine Dragons won?
Best Rock Performance, for the song Radioactive. It is the band's one Grammy win.
